having trouble waking my daughter up to eat...she usually wakes up on her own, but i cant get her to wake up enough for the last 2 feedings. she eats like half an oz and goes back to sleep. i need her to eat
@angylynn22, my daughter was in the NICU as well. I understand what you're saying. When my daughter doesn't like to wake up to eat, I just do everything I can to get her to eat. Sometimes she'll only eat an ounce or two before falling asleep; I just offer her an extra ounce or half an ounce the next time I feed her.
@jessicasharp, yea i was told the same. and im super paranoid about everything because she was in nicu for 8 days after she was born so im trying to do everything by the book. @zealous yea thats what i was trying to do but nothing i tried was really working to keep her up
I was told, by my pediatrician, that babies that young can't always wake up to eat. She said it was better to wake them up because sometimes they will sleep through feedings and be super hungry when they wake up.
if she doesnt wake up for 3 hrs...she's only 2 weeks @babes101116
Don't wake her up, let her sleep. She'll eat when she's hungry. Sleep is important
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
waking up newborn to eat
So my daughter is the hardest to actually wake up to eat every 3 hours. She is only 9 days old! Idk what to do to help her wake up?! And how long should I continue to wake her up for?
Switching to formula. How often will she eat? She's been asleep for two hours now. Should I wake her up to eat or wait until she gets up on her own?
So we got in super late last night. Had to carry my daughter to bed.
She had the nerve to try and wake me up at 7:30am saying she wanted breakfast. Smh (She wanted me to fix her a spread)🙄
I told her to choose some cereal. I'll fix her a bowl. Of course there wasn't any cereal that she wanted today 😴
I told her spoiled ass to figure it out and I went back to sleep 😂🤣
She ate an eggo.
